The IB Teacher Awards

Purpose of the award

The Level 2 award acknowledges the commitment of teachers who have further developed their understanding of the principles and practices of the IB programmes by completing a higher level of academic study. This will include systematic and rigorous inquiry into international education with reference to one or more of the IB programmes. 

Courses of study associated with the Level 2 award will be designed to give IB educators the opportunity to engage with the educational theories that underpin international education and IB programme development, implementation and assessment.

Registering for a Level 2 award will require teachers to complete a masters or higher-level course of study which includes a strong focus on educational inquiry. Such courses will have a balance between practice-based inquiry and more general issues-based investigation within the area of international education.

It is envisaged that courses of study leading to the Level 2 award will be of primary interest to

• Experienced IB teachers
• Teachers in positions of school leadership
• Teachers intending to take up positions of school leadership
